Chapter 149

• The sky seemed to want to collapse. The wind that shook the leaves of the trees was getting stronger and stronger. There was a storm on the way, which was only surpassed by the storm in my heart. I wanted to bear the weight of my choices, I wanted to believe that there would be a better way and that I just needed to hold on a little longer, a little longer, and a little longer...
• Now I was trapped in this destiny of rejection and pain. I ran, I ran desperately, as fast as my legs would allow. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and as irresponsible as it was to run in the forest with a storm looming, I needed to find my own note of hope.
• My heart took me there, to the waterfall where I had so often sought the company of the waters, to the place where a mysterious man had embraced and comforted me on one of the saddest and darkest nights of my entire life. His energy already covered the waters, as if he were waiting for me as always, which made me believe that he needed me as much as I needed him. Even if it was stupidly selfish to think that way, I needed to hold on to that feeling or I would have nothing left.
